An airing of grievances...

Today is the 23rd. This is, technically, the proper day for the celebration of Festivus, even though the Festivus party I went to was last night, where this happened, as filmed by KZ. (you can see me in the background laughing)

But, it would not be a proper celebration of Festivus if I did not participate in the Airing of Grievances. So, here they are:

*My first grievance is against the State of Oregon. Some of us don't mind pumping our own gas.

*My second grievance is about the near-impossibility to watch rugby or Australian Rules Football on television in the United States. Come on, people, it's worth it.

*My third grievance is directed to Ken Grossman. As I have recently relocated from Chico, please explain to me how, in 40 miles, the price of a six-pack of your beer goes up by more than a buck.

*My fourth grievance is directed to television news. It really annoys us newspaper folks when you're late to everything. Please be more punctual.

*My fifth grievance is directed to human biology. This issue of needing at least six hours a night to sleep is a bunch of crap. It would be very useful if I could spend some that time doing things like laundry. Couldn't it be something like three hours a night?

*My sixth grievance is directed to myself, because I'm already feeling tired of grievances and I'm stopping now. Have some more fortitude from now on!
